FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention generally relates to insecticidal compounds and their use in controlling insects. In particular, it pertains to insecticidal N-(substituted aryl)-4-(disubstituted methyl)piperidines and pyridine derivatives, N-oxides, and agriculturally acceptable salts thereof, compositions of these insecticides, and methods for their use in controlling insects.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

It is well known that insects in general can cause significant damage, not only to crops grown in agriculture, but also, for example, to structures and turf where the damage is caused by soil-borne insects, such as termites and white grubs. Such damage may result in the loss of millions of dollars of value associated with a given crop, turf or structures. Thus, there is a continuing demand for new insecticides that are safer, more effective, and less costly. Insecticides are useful for controlling insects which may otherwise cause significant damage to crops such as wheat, corn, soybeans, potatoes, and cotton to name a few. For crop protection, insecticides are desired which can control the insects without damaging the crops, and which have no deleterious effects to mammals and other living organisms.

In certain cases the compounds within the scope of formula I may possess asymmetric centers, which can give rise to optical enantiomorphs and diastereomers. Compounds within the scope of formula I may exist in two or more forms, i.e., polymorphs, which are significantly different in physical and chemical properties. Compounds within the scope of formula I may also exist as tautomers, which are in equilibrium. Compounds within the scope of formula I may also possess acidic or basic moieties, which may allow for the formation of agriculturally acceptable salts or agriculturally acceptable metal complexes.

This invention includes the use of such enantiomorphs, polymorphs, tautomers, salts and metal complexes. Agriculturally acceptable salts and metal complexes include, without limitation, for example, ammonium salts, the salts of organic and inorganic acids, such as hydrochloric acid, sulfonic acid, ethanesulfonic acid, trifluoroacetic acid, methylbenzenesulfonic acid, phosphoric acid, gluconic acid, pamoic acid, and other acid salts, and the alkali metal and alkaline earth metal complexes with, for example, sodium, potassium, lithium, magnesium, calcium, and other metals.

The methods of the present invention are predicated on causing an insecticidally effective amount of a compound of formula I to be present within insects in order to kill or control the insects. Preferred insecticidally effective amounts are those that are sufficient to kill the insect. It is within the scope of the present invention to cause a compound of formula I to be present within insects by contacting the insects with a derivative of that compound, which derivative is converted within the insect to a compound of formula I. This invention includes the use of such compounds, which can be referred to as pro-insecticides.

Another aspect of the present invention relates to compositions containing an insecticidally effective amount of at least one compound of formula I, and, optionally, an effective amount of at least one second compound, with at least one agriculturally acceptable extender or adjuvant.

Another aspect of the present invention relates to methods of controlling insects by applying an insecticidally effective amount of a composition set forth above to a locus of crops such as, without limitation, cereals, cotton, vegetables, and fruits, other areas where insects are present or are expected to be present, or adjacent to areas where insects are present or are expected to be present.

The present invention also includes the use of the compounds and compositions set forth herein for control of non-agricultural insect species, for example, ants, dry wood termites and subterranean termites as well as other insects; and also for use as pharmaceutical agents and compositions thereof.

In the field of veterinary medicine, the compounds of the present invention are expected to be effective against certain endo- and ecto-parasites, such as insects and worms, which prey on animals. Examples of such animal parasites include, without limitation, Gastrophilus spp., Stomoxys spp., Trichodectes sp., Rhodnius spp., Ctenocephalides canis, and other species.

As used in this specification and unless otherwise indicated the substituent terms “alkyl”, “alkenyl”, “alkynyl”, “alkoxy”, “alkenyloxy”, and “alkynyloxy” used alone or as part of a larger moiety, includes straight or branched chains of at least one or two carbon atoms, as appropriate to the substituent, and preferably up to 12 carbon atoms, more preferably up to ten carbon atoms, most preferably up to seven carbon atoms, wherein “alkenyl” has at least one carbon to carbon double bond, and “alkynyl” has at least one carbon to carbon triple bond. The term “aryl” refers to an aromatic ring structure, including fused rings, having four to ten carbon atoms, for example, phenyl and naphthyl. The term “heteroaryl” refers to an aromatic ring structure, including fused rings, having four to ten carbon atoms, and in which one or more of the atoms in the ring is other than carbon, for example, sulfur, oxygen, or nitrogen. The term “THF” refers to tetrahydrofuran. The term “DMSO” refers to methyl sulfoxide. The term “DMF” refers to N,N-dimethylformamide. The term “halogen” or “halo” refers to fluorine, bromine, iodine, or chlorine. The term “ambient temperature” or “room temperature” often abbreviated as “RT”, for example, in reference to a chemical reaction mixture temperature, refers to a temperature in the range of 20° C. to 30° C.

The compounds of formula I of the present invention can be synthesized by methods that are individually known to one skilled in the art from intermediate compounds readily available in commerce.

Scheme 1 below illustrates a general procedure for synthesizing those compounds of formula I, where A is C, forming a piperidine ring; n is 0, forming a double bond between the methyl carbon (a) and the 4-position of the piperidine ring; m, p, and q are 0; r is 1, forming an N-oxide; and s is 1; E is —(CR²⁷R²⁸)_(x)—(CR²⁹R³⁰)_(y)—, where x is 1, and y is 0; R⁸ is phenyl substituted with R²², R²³, R²⁴, R²⁵, and R²⁶; B is phenyl substituted with R⁹, R¹⁰, R¹¹, R¹², and R¹³, where R²⁷ and R²⁸ are hydrogen:

In a first step as set forth in Scheme 1, an appropriately substituted methanol (C), for example, 4-{bis[4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]hydroxymethyl}piperidine, was treated with trifluoroacetic acid at reduced temperature, yielding the corresponding unsaturated methylene derivative (D), for example, 4-{bis[4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]methylene}piperidine. Intermediate (D) was then reacted with an appropriately substituted phenyl bromide, for example, 4-nitrophenylmethyl bromide, under basic conditions in an appropriate solvent, providing the 1-substituted pyridyl derivative (E), for example, 4-{bis[4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]methylene}-1-[(4-nitrophenyl)methyl]piperidine. Intermediate (E) was then hydrogenated in the presence of a catalyst, for example, 5% palladium on carbon, at elevated temperature thereby reducing the nitro group to the amino group, providing 4-[(4-{bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]methylene}piperidyl)methyl]phenylamine (F). Intermediate (F) was in turn reacted with an alkyl haloformate, for example, ethyl chloroformate, under basic conditions in an appropriate solvent, affording the corresponding alkyl carboxamide, for example N-{4-[(4-{bis[4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]methylene}-piperidyl)methyl]phenyl}ethoxycarboxamide, a compound of formula I. The so-prepared carboxamide was then converted to the corresponding 1-oxypiperidyl derivative (an N-oxide) by treating it with, for example, 30% hydrogen peroxide in methanol, to provide additional compounds of formula I. Example 1, set forth below provides a detailed procedure for this synthesis.

Intermediate (O) was then reacted with, for example, N,O-dimethylhydroxylamine hydrochloride and diethylcyanophosphonate, under basic conditions at reduced temperature in an appropriate solvent, yielding the corresponding piperidine carboxamine (R), for example, 1-{[4-(2-methyl(1,2,3,4-tetraazol-5-yl))phenyl]methyl}(4-piperidyl)-N-methoxy-N-methylcarboxamide. Intermediate (R) was reacted with a Grignard Reagent, for example, 4-trifluoromethoxyphenylmagnesium bromide, in an appropriate solvent, affording the corresponding ketone (T), for example, 1-{[4-(2-methyl(1,2,3,4-tetraazol-5-yl))phenyl]methyl}(4-piperidyl)4-(trifluoromethoxy)phenyl ketone.

As depicted in Scheme 5, Intermediate (M), for example, 5-(4-methylphenyl)-1,2,3,4-tetraazole, was prepared by reacting an appropriate toluonitrile, for example para-toluonitrile, with sodium azide at elevated temperature in an appropriate solvent. Intermediate (M) was then alkylated with an appropriate iodoalkane under basic conditions, affording the corresponding alkylated tetraazole (N), for example, 2-ethyl-5-(4-methylphenyl)-1,2,3,4-tetraazole. Intermediate (N) was in turn brominated with, for example, N-bromosuccinimide at elevated temperature in an appropriate solvent, providing the corresponding bromomethyl derivative (O), for example, 5-[4-(bromomethyl)phenyl]-2-ethyl-1,2,3,4-tetraazole.

Example 11, set forth below provides a detailed procedure for this synthesis.

Examples 7, 8, 9, and 10, set forth below provide detailed procedures for the synthesis of other compounds of formula I, prepared by methods derived from those procedures provided in Schema 1-4 and the Examples associated with these schema.

One skilled in the art will, of course, recognize that the formulation and mode of application of a toxicant may affect the activity of the material in a given application. Thus, for agricultural use the present insecticidal compounds may be formulated as a granular of relatively large particle size (for example, 8/16 or 4/8 US Mesh), as water-soluble or water-dispersible granules, as powdery dusts, as wettable powders, as emulsifiable concentrates, as aqueous emulsions, as solutions, or as any of other known types of agriculturally-useful formulations, depending on the desired mode of application. It is to be understood that the amounts specified in this specification are intended to be approximate only, as if the word “about” were placed in front of the amounts specified.

These insecticidal compositions may be applied either as water-diluted sprays, or dusts, or granules to the areas in which suppression of insects is desired. These formulations may contain as little as 0.1%, 0.2% or 0.5% to as much as 95% or more by weight of active ingredient.

Dusts are free flowing admixtures of the active ingredient with finely divided solids such as talc, natural clays, kieselguhr, flours such as walnut shell and cottonseed flours, and other organic and inorganic solids which act as dispersants and carriers for the toxicant; these finely divided solids have an average particle size of less than about 50 microns. A typical dust formulation useful herein is one containing 1.0 part or less of the insecticidal compound and 99.0 parts of talc.

Wettable powders, also useful formulations for insecticides, are in the form of finely divided particles that disperse readily in water or other dispersant. The wettable powder is ultimately applied to the locus where insect control is needed either as a dry dust or as an emulsion in water or other liquid. Typical carriers for wettable powders include Fuller's earth, kaolin clays, silicas, and other highly absorbent, readily wet inorganic diluents. Wettable powders normally are prepared to contain about 5-80% of active ingredient, depending on the absorbency of the carrier, and usually also contain a small amount of a wetting, dispersing or emulsifying agent to facilitate dispersion. For example, a useful wettable powder formulation contains 80.0 parts of the insecticidal compound, 17.9 parts of Palmetto clay, and 1.0 part of sodium lignosulfonate and 0.3 part of sulfonated aliphatic polyester as wetting agents. Additional wetting agent and/or oil will frequently be added to a tank mix for to facilitate dispersion on the foliage of the plant.

Other useful formulations for insecticidal applications are emulsifiable concentrates (ECs) which are homogeneous liquid compositions dispersible in water or other dispersant, and may consist entirely of the insecticidal compound and a liquid or solid emulsifying agent, or may also contain a liquid carrier, such as xylene, heavy aromatic naphthas, isophorone, or other non-volatile organic solvents. For insecticidal application these concentrates are dispersed in water or other liquid carrier and normally applied as a spray to the area to be treated. The percentage by weight of the essential active ingredient may vary according to the manner in which the composition is to be applied, but in general comprises 0.5 to 95% of active ingredient by weight of the insecticidal composition.

Flowable formulations are similar to ECs, except that the active ingredient is suspended in a liquid carrier, generally water. Flowables, like ECs, may include a small amount of a surfactant, and will typically contain active ingredients in the range of 0.5 to 95%, frequently from 10 to 50%, by weight of the composition. For application, flowables may be diluted in water or other liquid vehicle, and are normally applied as a spray to the area to be treated.

Typical wetting, dispersing or emulsifying agents used in agricultural formulations include, but are not limited to, the alkyl and alkylaryl sulfonates and sulfates and their sodium salts; alkylaryl polyether alcohols; sulfated higher alcohols; polyethylene oxides; sulfonated animal and vegetable oils; sulfonated petroleum oils; fatty acid esters of polyhydric alcohols and the ethylene oxide addition products of such esters; and the addition product of long-chain mercaptans and ethylene oxide. Many other types of useful surface-active agents are available in commerce. Surface-active agents, when used, normally comprise 1 to 15% by weight of the composition.

Other useful formulations include suspensions of the active ingredient in a relatively non-volatile solvent such as water, corn oil, kerosene, propylene glycol, or other suitable solvents.

Still other useful formulations for insecticidal applications include simple solutions of the active ingredient in a solvent in which it is completely soluble at the desired concentration, such as acetone, alkylated naphthalenes, xylene, or other organic solvents. Granular formulations, wherein the toxicant is carried on relative coarse particles, are of particular utility for aerial distribution or for penetration of cover crop canopy. Pressurized sprays, typically aerosols wherein the active ingredient is dispersed in finely divided form as a result of vaporization of a low-boiling dispersant solvent carrier may also be used. Water-soluble or water-dispersible granules are free flowing, non-dusty, and readily water-soluble or water-miscible. In use by the farmer on the field, the granular formulations, emulsifiable concentrates, flowable concentrates, aqueous emulsions, solutions, etc., may be diluted with water to give a concentration of active ingredient in the range of say 0.1% or 0.2% to 1.5% or 2%.

The active insecticidal compounds of this invention may be formulated and/or applied with one or more second compounds. Such combinations may provide certain advantages, such as, without limitation, exhibiting synergistic effects for greater control of insect pests, reducing rates of application of insecticide thereby minimizing any impact to the environment and to worker safety, controlling a broader spectrum of insect pests, safening of crop plants to phytotoxicity, and improving tolerance by non-pest species, such as mammals and fish.

Second compounds include, without limitation, other pesticides, plant growth regulators, fertilizers, soil conditioners, or other agricultural chemicals. In applying an active compound of this invention, whether formulated alone or with other agricultural chemicals, an effective amount and concentration of the active compound is of course employed; the amount may vary in the range of, e.g. about 0.001 to about 3 kg/ha, preferably about 0.03 to about 1 kg/ha. For field use, where there are losses of insecticide, higher application rates (e.g., four times the rates mentioned above) may be employed.

Example 1 This Example Illustrates One Protocol for the Preparation of N-{4-[(4-{bis[4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]methylene}piperidyl)methyl]phenyl}ethoxycarboxamide, N-oxide (Compound 101 in Table Below) Step A Synthesis of 4-{bis[4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]methylene}piperidine as an Intermediate

A solution of 10.0 grams (0.025 mole) of 4-{bis[4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]hydroxymethyl}piperidine (known compound) in 50 mL of trifluoroacetic acid was heated to 70° C. where it stirred for four hours. After this time, excess trifluoroacetic acid was removed by distillation. The residue remaining from the distillation was added drop wise to ice water. Upon completion of addition, the mixture was neutralized with an aqueous solution saturated with potassium carbonate. The mixture was then extracted with methylene chloride, and the extract was washed with an aqueous solution saturated with sodium chloride. The extract was concentrated under reduced pressure to a residue, and the residue was crystallized in hexane, yielding in two crops, 9.1 grams of the subject compound. The NMR spectrum was consistent with the proposed structure.

Step B Synthesis of 4-{bis[4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]methylene}-1-[(4-nitrophenyl)methyl]piperidine as an Intermediate

A stirred mixture of 3.8 grams (0.010 mole) of 4-{bis[4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]methylene}piperidine, 2.2 grams (0.010 mole) of 4-nitrophenylmethyl bromide, and 1.7 grams (0.012 mole) of potassium carbonate in about 20 mL of ethanol was warmed to 75° C., where it stirred for about 18 hours. After this time, an additional 0.2 gram (0.001 mole) of 4-nitrophenylmethyl bromide and an additional 0.2 gram (0.001 mole) of potassium carbonate was added to the reaction mixture. The reaction mixture was again heated to 75° C., where it stirred for about eight hours. After this time, the reaction mixture was cooled and filtered to remove excess potassium carbonate. The reaction mixture was then taken up in acetic acid, and 0.2 gram (catalyst) of 5% platinum on carbon was added to the mixture in preparation for the following hydrogenation step. A quantitative yield of the subject compound was assumed.

Step C Synthesis of 4-[(4-{bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]methylene}piperidyl)methyl]phenylamine as an Intermediate

The reaction product from Step B of this example and 5% platinum on carbon in acetic acid was stirred at 75° C. for about 18 hours while hydrogen gas was bubbled into the reaction mixture. Analysis of the reaction mixture after this time indicated that the hydrogenation had not taken place. A mixture of 1:1 ethanol:acetic acid and 3.0 grams of iron powder was added to the reaction mixture and the hydrogenation was continued at 65° C. during a one hour period. Analysis of the reaction mixture after this time indicated that the hydrogenation was complete. The reaction mixture was then cooled and filtered through diatomaceous earth. The filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure to a residue. The residue was dissolved in methylene chloride and the solution was washed with water, and then with an aqueous solution saturated with sodium carbonate.

Candidate insecticides were evaluated for activity against the tobacco budworm (Heliothis virescens [Fabricius]) in a surface-treated diet test.

In this test one mL of molten (65-70° C.) wheat germ-based artificial diet was pipetted into each well of a four by six (24 well) multi-well plate (ID#430345-15.5 mm dia.×17.6 mm deep; Corning Costar Corp., One Alewife Center, Cambridge, Mass. 02140). The diet was allowed to cool to ambient temperature before treatment with candidate insecticide.

For a determination of insecticidal activity, solutions of the candidate insecticides were prepared for testing using a Packard 204DT Multiprobe® Robotic System (Packard Instrument Company, 800 Research Parkway, Meriden, Conn. 06450), in which the robot first diluted a standard 50 millimolar DMSO solution of candidate insecticide with a 1:1 water/acetone solution (V/V) in a ratio of 1:7 stock solution to water/acetone. The robot subsequently pipetted 40 microliters of the so-prepared solution onto the surface of the diet in each of three wells in the 24 multi-well plate. The process was repeated with solutions of seven other candidate insecticides. Once treated, the contents of the multi-well plate were allowed to dry, leaving 0.25 millimoles of candidate insecticide on the surface of the diet, or a concentration of 0.25 millimolar. Appropriate untreated controls containing only DMSO on the diet surface were also included in this test.

For evaluations of the insecticidal activity of a candidate insecticide at varying rates of application, the test was established as described above using sub-multiples of the standard 50 millimolar DMSO solution of candidate insecticide. For example, the standard 50 millimolar solution was diluted by the robot with DMSO to give 5, 0.5, 0.05, 0.005, 0.0005 millimolar, or more dilute solutions of the candidate insecticide. In these evaluations there were six replicates of each rate of application placed on the surface of the diet in the 24 multi-well plate, for a total of four rates of application of candidate insecticide in each plate.

In each well of the test plate was placed one second instar tobacco budworm larvea, each weighing approximately five milligrams. After the larvae were placed in each well, the plate was sealed with clear polyfilm adhesive tape. The tape over each well was perforated to ensure an adequate air supply. The plates were then held in a growth chamber at 25° C. and 60% relative humidity for five days (light 14 hours/day).

After the five-day exposure period insecticidal activity for each rate of application of candidate insecticide was assessed as percent inhibition of insect weight relative to the weight of insects from untreated controls, and percent mortality when compared to the total number of insects infested.

Insecticidal activity data at selected rates of application from this test are provided in Table 3. The test compounds of formula I are identified by numbers that correspond to those in Table 1.
